Probably so. Given the imperfect compatibility between gcj & Sun Java 1.5, can you say whether the reason your Java app fails is because there's a bug your app, there's a bug in gcj or in the Sun JRE? Sun reasonably doesn't want people blaming Sun Java for flaws in other compilers. IANAL, but ISTM that it is up to the *user*, not Debian to enforce clause 2(c). After all, when I install it on my box, *I* am agreeing to the license, not SPI, the DPL or the Debian Java Team. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
